LARRY'S HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING

I called Larry's Heating and Air on Memorial Day Weekend (2016), and this was the only company to return my call that day. He was able to come out on the morning of Monday. He fixed my AC issue in around 60 minutes (a contact issue between the coils and the fan causing the breaker to trip), and put a few pounds of freon in the unit. The business is clearly honest and is very knowledgeable. How do I assess this? Unknown to Larry's, I had another business look at the problem a few months earlier who said I needed new heating strips ($500.00). They also tried to sell me a new heat pump saying it was not working well and near the end of its life span. This made no sense to me for two reasons: 1) the AC also caused the breaker to trip; and 2) I only use this unit 4 months out of the year during the summer as the downstairs heat also heats the upstairs very well. Hence, why would its life span be an issue?
Overall, Larry's found the problem, and my heat pump just needed a little freon as no leaks were detected. Furthermore, I asked him to check the downstairs, and he said it did not need freon (more honesty). Larry's prices were also comparable to others. Thus, I will call Larry's for all of my heating and AC needs in the future

[redacted] is a very trust worthy man and very pleasant. He has worked on my home and my neighbors use him because we know he is honest. He is always there at a resonable time and will get there as soon as possible. He has worked with me on payment when I was in a pinch. I would recommend him to everyone.
